It was never gonna work
Distance was too far
Trust issues and rental cars
You are never gonna change
I made peace with it enough
But sometimes it comes up
Next thing I know
I'm there at that dive bar in San Diego
And seeing your face through the cigarette smoke
And I hate that I almost want you to know
Lipstick stains on a crystal glass
Sometimes I kinda miss the past
Gold chains, Old Spice, ain't it sad?
The smallest things always take me back
No matter where I go, no matter who I'm with
The smallest things always take me back
After all this time, I need more of it
The smallest things always take me back
Yeah, we wanted different things
Your dreams fought with mine
Wasn't willing to compromise
Yeah, we argued constantly
But sometimes I wonder how
Different it would be now
Next thing I know
I'm there at that dive bar in San Diego
And seeing your face through the cigarette smoke
I hate that I almost want you to know
Lipstick stains on a crystal glass
Sometimes I kinda miss the past
Gold chains, Old Spice, ain't it sad?
The smallest things always take me back
No matter where I go, no matter who I'm with
The smallest things always take me back
After all this time, I need more of it
The smallest things always take me back
always take me back
(Back, back) the smallest things (yeah, they take me back) always take me back
